in which n l or 2, R represents hydrogen or a lower alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms, R represents a lower alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms, whereby R and R may represent identical or different groups, whereas R, and R may form together with the attached nitrogen atom a nitrogenous heterocyclic ring such as morpholine, pyrrolidine, piperidine or piperazine ring.

This invention relates also to the acid addition salts, such as the hydrochlorides, of the new derivatives of Z-aminoindane of formula (I).

It has been found that the new derivatives of 2- aminoindane of the formula (I) have interesting pharmacological properties.

This invention relates therefore also to pharmaceutical compositions containing, as active ingredient, at least one compound of the general formula (I), together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION It has been surprisingly found that the compounds of the general formula (I) are very active for the treatment of heart arrhythmia.

Said compounds can be used for the treatment of various heart diseases such as premature heart contractions, ventricular and supraventricular tachycardias either idiopathic or subsequent to a cardiopathia or to a coronary disease, cardiac arrhythmias due to digitalin intoxication, as well as atrial fibrillation and flutter, particularly in the early stage.

It is known (see Koch-Weser, J. Arch. Int. Med. 129; 763, 1972) that none of the presently available antiarrhythmic agents are satisfactory for the prophylaxis of tachycardias and fibrillation of ventricular origin.

The oral activity of the known antiarrhythmic agents, such as procainamide or lidocaine, is either too short leading to multiple day and night administration (for example with procainamide) or too low to be of some practical utility (for example with lidocaine) or their therapeutic activity is conjugated with frequent and dangerous side effects, such as hypotension (with procainamide), sudden death, agranulocytosis or idiosyncrasy.

The compounds of general formula (1) according to this invention are very active when orally administered. although they may also be administered parenterally. They have also a long activity duration and are not depressant for the myocardial function.

Applicants do not know any orally active antiarrhythmic agent which does not act at the same time as a depressant of the myocardial function.

The oral antiarrhythmic activity of the compounds of formula (I) has been proved by tests on rats using aconitine which is a compound causing premature heart contractions and death of the animals.

The method used for these tests is described hereafter:

Animals Male or female rats with a body-weight ranging from 380 to 450 g.

Aconitine solution 3.12 ug aconitine nitrate/1 ml physiological saline.

Solution of the compound to be tested 0.75% in distilled water.

Method Six randoms selected animals are required for each compound to be tested. The compound is administered by oral route at the dose of mg/kg (1 ml of the 0.75% solution/ g of body-weight) 75 minutes before the intravenous perfusion of the aconitine solution is initiated.

Control groups of animals are treated only with distilled water (1 ml/lOO g).

Sixty minutes after the administration of the compound to be tested, the animals are anesthesized by an intraperitoneal injection of Pentobarbital (50 mg/kg) and the jugular vein is dissected.

A catheter is introduced in the vein and fixed by a pigature. The ECG (D II derivation) is then continuously recorded. The perfusion of the aconitine solution is started 75 minutes after the administration of the compound to be tested. The volume delivered by the injection device being 0.287 ml/minute, the dose of aconitine nitrate administered is 0.895 ,ug/minute (0.20 0.24 ,ug/lOO g/minute according to the minimal and maximal weight of the animals).

The experience is stopped as soon as the first extrasystoles are appearing and the time elapsed from the beginning of the perfusion is noted.

The results are expressed as the mean total dose of aconitine injected in a group of animals.

The relative acitivity between a tested compound and a reference substance (lidocaine, procainamide) is computed in the following way:

where 4(.\') activity of tested compound X (in X mean dose of aconitine in the animals treated by compound X C mean dose of aconitine injected in the untreated animals (controls) R mean dose of aconitine injected in the animals treated by the reference substances.

The following table gives the results of the evaluation of the antiarrhythmic activity by oral route of a great number of acid addition salts of compounds of formula (I). compared to the activity of two well known antiar rhythmic agents (procainamide and lidocaine).

Compounds of formula (I) Activity in 7( compared The compounds of the formula (I) may be adminis tered orally or parenterally.

Oral preparations may be administered under the form of capsules, tablets. pills and the like. Each capsule, tablet or pill may contain from to 200 mg of a compound of formula (I) as active ingredient, together with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or carriers.

Parenteral preparations may consist in a solution for perfusion or for intravenous or intramuscular injection. Such a solution may contain from 0.2 per thousand to 2 per thousand of a compound of formula (I).

The parenteral preparation may be either a solution which may be directly used for the perfusion and contains a proportion of the active ingredient within the above limits. or a concentrated solution containing 1 to 10% of the active ingredient. said concentrated solution being diluted when administered to a patient.

The initial dose of active ingredient may be of 200 to 800 mg per day during 2 or 3 days. the maintenance dose being of about mg to 300 mg per day.

If a single dose is sufficient for obtaining the therapeutic effect, this dose is generally comprised between and 300 mg.

The active ingredient may be administered at the same time by the parenteral route (for example by perfusion) and by the oral route.

This invention also relates to processes for preparing the new compounds of formula (I).

The new compounds may be prepared by a process in which Z-phenylaminoindane (II) which is a known compound (see Belgian Pat. No. 760.018) is acylated by means of a chloride of halogenated aliphatic acid of the formula ClCO(Cl-l ),,I-Ial (III) in which Hal represents a halogen atom and n l or 2 and the obtained acylated compound (IV) which is a 2-(N-haloalkanoyl-N-phenylamino)-indane is reacted with an amine of the formula in which R and R have the above meanings.

These reactions may be represented as follows:

The following Examples 1 to 13 illustrate the preparation of new compounds of formula (I).

EXAMPLE 1 Preparation of the hydrochloride of N-phenyl-N-diethylaminoacetyl-2-aminoindane (n 1; R R C H in formula I).

8.4 g of Z-phenylaminoindane (II) are refluxed during 5 hours in benzene in the presence of 4.7 ml of the chloride of chloracetic acid (formula III: Hal Cl; )1 l The solvent is then removed under vacuum and the residual oil is treated with ml of ethanol. l0 ml of diethylamine (formula V: R R C H are added and the mixture is refluxed during 24 hours in an autoclave. The solvent is then removed under vacuum and the residue is extracted with IN hydrochloric acid.

The obtained solution is made alkaline by means of ammonium hydroxide and the obtained product is extracted by means of an organic solvent which is not miscible with water. for example chloroform. After drying on sodium carbonate, the mixture is filtered and the chloroform is removed. The residual oil mixed with water is treated by means of hydrochloric acid so as to obtain the desired hydrochloride which is recrystallized from benzene.
